Scene: 5 Years Later – Mumbai
The office now had a play area.
Yes, you read that right — the cold, glass-walled empire that once reflected Anaya’s loneliness now echoed with baby laughter and soft toys.
Anaya Kapoor-Singh, still the fierce and iconic CEO, walked into her cabin wearing a black power suit… with a slight baby bump showing.
Her high heels clicked as always. Her eyes were sharp as ever.
But her aura?
Softer. Happier. Fulfilled.

Scene: Home — Early Morning
Ruhan was in the kitchen, wearing a cute apron that read:
"CFO — Chief Feeding Officer"
Their 4-year-old daughter, Aarohi, sat at the counter drawing Anaya in a superhero cape.
“Papa, Mumma gussa karti hai jab main phone use karti hoon,” she pouted.
Ruhan laughed, “Woh tumhari Mumma hai. Unka pyaar bhi command ke jaisa hota hai.”
Anaya entered, raising a brow. “Aur tumhara pyaar kya hai, Mr. Secretary?”
He walked up behind her, hugged her from the back, and whispered in her ear,
“Mera pyaar aaj bhi tumhare kadmon mein bicha hai, Mrs. Kapoor.”
She smirked. “Kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai main tumse zyada cute ho gayi hoon.”
“Tum cute toh tab bhi thi, jab tumne mujhe ‘Just coffee’ ke liye 12 din wait karvaya tha.”

Scene: Office Boardroom
Anaya stood at the head of the table. The same boardroom where she once ruled with silence and fear — now echoed with respect and admiration.
But beside her chair sat a little pink booster seat.
Aarohi occasionally attended “important meetings” with crayons and cookies.
A female intern whispered, “Ma’am ka love story toh fairy tale hai…”
Another replied, “Aur sir jaisa pati ho toh mujhe bhi boss banna hai!”

Scene: Baby Room – Night
Anaya sat near Aarohi’s bed, reading her a book — the same story where a cold princess learns to feel again.
“Princess Anaya was brave,” Aarohi whispered sleepily.
“But Prince Ruhan was kind,” Anaya replied with a smile.
“And unhone shaadi kar li?” Aarohi mumbled, almost asleep.
Anaya kissed her forehead.
“Shaadi bhi ki, aur pyaar mein jeet bhi gaye.”

Scene: Balcony — Midnight
Ruhan held her belly, feeling their second baby kick.
He looked into her eyes. “Tumne apne sab dard ko pyaar mein badal diya, Ana.”
She placed her hand on his.
“Tumne mujhe pyaar mein jeena sikhaya.”
They kissed under the stars.
No secrets. No fear.
Only love.
